Massachusetts rebels against British tyranny. Mississippi goes hunting with the president. Michigan refuses to leave Toledo. Minnesota celebrates Christmas with friends. And Montana listens to a war story. These are the stories of the 50 States of A...
Wisconsin. The 30th state is widely known for her dairy cows and dairy products, especially cheese. Many often poke fun of her for being a literal cheesehead, but she doesn't seem bothered by the mean nicknames. In fact, she loves the nicknames. She embraces the term to the point it became a proud representation of her NFL team, the Green Bay Packers.
American football is a unique sport that centers itself on American tradition, tracing its roots back to the late 19th century. Today, the National Football League (NFL) hosts widely watched games between teams representing cities across America. By the end of the season, two of the most successful teams compete in what is known as the Super Bowl; the winner is crowned the champion for that season. Among the teams in the NFL, one of the most passionate are the Green Bay Packers. Besides cheese, many Packers fans are ecstatic whenever their team win a Super Bowl. This is true in 2011 when the Green Bay Packers went against the Pittsburgh Steelers, proving themselves once again to be the pride of many cheeseheads.

"SON OF A BIIIIITCH!!!" Pennsylvania screamed at the top of her lungs. She clenched the Terrible Towel between her teeth, caught in disbelief of that interception and consequential touchdown. Echoing in the stadium in addition to millions of homes across America were the groans of many Steelers fans who, too, couldn't believe their eyes.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin and many cheeseheads cheered to another touchdown. "YEEEEAAAAAHH! Touchdown! WOoooOHOoooO!" she shouted.
It was only the first quarter, and the Packers were already ahead in the game by 14 points. Meanwhile, the Steelers had yet to get their act together. And that was pissing the hardcore Steelers fan off!
"I swear by Franklin's balls if the Steelers don't score in the second quarter I'm going to burn the stadium down!" She crushed her beer can in hand. The states who sat close by the Steelers fan scooted away from her, not wanting to get crushed by her steel fists.
Sitting close by at the miniature lounge within the VIP room, Michigan and Minnesota were chattering to themselves while watching the game on the TV screen. Their conversation was interrupted by Texas holding a platter of cheese and crackers.
"Hey, y'all! Have you eaten enough? Do you want these cheese and crackers?" the Texan questioned as she continued to push the tray closer to the two Midwestern states.
"I'm already full on the sliders, but thank you, Tex," Minnesota politely refused before munching down on her last cheeseburger slider.
"Are you sure? There's plenty of food to go around."
"We're good, Tex!" Michie pushed the tray away. "Stop trying to make us fat."
Tex placed a hand on her hip, looking slightly offended. "Well, excuse me, wrench head. I have trays full of cheese and chocolate that can cover the entire country of Switzerland." She made a hitchhiker's thumb to the back counter.
